Big Caps Announcement Forthcoming

After returning from a weekend wedding in Sidney-land (filled with lots of disappointed Pens and especially Bruins fans), Hockey Mom recieved the following communication from the Capitals' PR staff:

Capitals to Make Significant Announcement Monday, May 17, at 10:30 a.m.

ARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals will make a significant player-related announcement on Monday, May 17, at 10:30 a.m. at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Va. Media are invited to attend the announcement, which will be held in the team’s locker room at the practice facility.

My best guess would be that the team has come to a contract agreement with elite center Nicklas Backstrom which I hope is the case, but stay tuned....
